Everykey, password management and John McAfee
Hi, I’m John McAfee and you remind me of other products such as McAfee antivirus. With an introduction the style of Troy McLure and a couple of humorous videos, Everykey presents some of the advantages of the small device.
As explained in campaign, every time we approach one of the devices on which we have set, use encryption AES 128-bit encryption to send a pseudorandom message via Bluetooth 4.0. With this it is intended that in the event that someone managed to catch the message, can not reuse the password to access our equipment.
The password settings may be made by a broad ecosystem official apps available for OS X, iOS, Android, Windows and Ubuntu, as well as with Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge browsers. It has a battery that lasts about 30 days before we have to recharge via USB, say it is waterproof and has a range of three meters.
They also promise that can help generate strong passwords, and in an attempt to strengthen security, allow us to disable it when we believe we have lost. Everykey also ensures that their servers do not store any passwords , although its previous version is dragging the eternal question of whether others can be used to access our accounts when we are close.
During this module crowdfunding campaign it began offering a special roll for $ 99 which flew a few days, but if you’re interested in buying one even can collaborate by $ 128 plus shipping . Everykey has already exceeded its goal of obtaining $ 20,000 and will begin shipping the first units between February and March
